Post-match stats: How APS Bomet pinned down Nairobi Utd at home
By Joel Masibo, February 4, 2026APS Bomet FC edged Nairobi United 2–1 in a rescheduled Football Kenya Federation Premier League Game Week 10 encounter, with Anthony Naibei delivering a match-winning performance to earn the Man of the Match accolade on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, at Nyayo Stadium.
Naibei was the standout player on the day, scoring APS Bomet’s opener in the 20th minute and setting the tone for his side’s victory. His influence in the final third was clear, finishing the match with one goal from two shot attempts, two touches inside the opposition box, and an impressive 97 per cent pass accuracy, underlining his efficiency and composure.
Nairobi United, despite enjoying a dominant share of possession at 69 per cent, found it difficult to convert control into goals. Their persistence eventually paid off in the 77th minute when Hakizimana Muhadjira pulled one back, briefly raising hopes of a comeback.
However, APS Bomet had already restored their advantage earlier through Dickson Mwangi Mwangi, who struck in the 69th minute to make it 2–1. That goal proved decisive as Nairobi United were unable to find an equaliser despite registering more shots overall.
